Positioning Transparent Film - Microtek ArtixScan 2500 User Manual

2. Positioning transparent film

This procedure applies when you use the lower scan bed of the ArtixScan 2500, which has a transparency tray that is
used for scanning transparent film.
There are two ways to scan transparent film: 1) By using the Universal Glass Holder with the transparency tray; or
2) By using the other film holders with the transparency tray, also included in your scanner package. See below for
more details.
Using the Universal Glass Film Holder with the
transparency tray
Use the Universal Glass Film Holder together with the
transparency tray when you wish to scan non-standard-
sized transparent film.

Warning: The transparency tray is permanently attached to the
scanner.
Do not attempt to remove it entirely from the scanner.
To scan film, simply pull the tray out enough to insert the glass
holder or any of the glassless holders. To make sure that the
holder you use is flat in the transparency tray, push firmly down
on all four corners of each holder before pushing in the
transparency tray into the scanner. This will ensure proper focus
of your scans.

Using the other film holders with the transparency
tray
Use the other film holders together with the transparency
tray for scanning a particular type of standard-sized
film. For instance, use the 4" x 5" Film Holder to scan 4"
x 5" film, or use the 35mm Filmstrip Holder to scan
35mm filmstrips.
